I was thinking about how to attract more people and keep them competitive. Now i know there are some contests where people give away there own stuff but how about if the game gave away stuff on regular basis. eg
prizes for highest forged nw for the month,
most battles fought for the month,
fastest growth of an ncb for the month,
fastest growth of an ncb for the month
etc
things that most people can achieve in a month, would increase participaton and activity. Prizes can range from free namings, cb$, free supportership and possibly even have us$ prizes or real world prizes, for year long achievements in the same areas as the monthly like most battles fought for the year or most mpr earnt by a character in a year, depending on how much money jonathon makes and is willing to part with :P
Also we have supportership items but i think milestone items should also be brought in and these are super rare items. These items could be a melding of two items to form one. These milestones i refer to is every 1 mil mpr u make. so a basic, mold at 1 mil and a better one at 2mil mpr, even better mold at 3 milmpr and so on. would get people to be active and work hard in order to get these special really rare items.
The molds could be simple things like for 1 mil mpr tulkas gaunlets crossed with elven gloves to produce an
Elven Gaunlet base ac of 4 and giving 1% per + to both st and dx and -1 % for dd spells, EO and ED spells
2mil mpr
Alatar's Gloves + Noldorin Spellcasters = Alatar's Spellcasters base AC 0 +1% to dd spells, Subtracts 1% from the effect of Antimagic Field per enchantment point cast on the wearer -1% to ST and DX, EO and ED spells
3mil mpr
helm of durin + helm of clearsight = Helm of Durinsight base AC 2 allows for an additional round of attacks in ranged and -1 % for dd spells, EO and ED spells
4mil mpr
Elven Hauberk + Trollskin Armor = Trollskin Hauberk base AC 22 Plus 1% resistance to DD for each point of enchantment, Each round, it regenerates up to 5% of the wearer minion's trained HP, capped at the original HP before things like Ablative Shield. -1% to ST, DX, DD spells, EO and ED spells
and if u get to 5mil mpr
Elven Boots + Displacement boots = Vanishing Boots base AC 5 Plus 1% to base DX and Skills for each Enchantment bonus, decreases effectiveness of enemy PTH (Plus-To-Hit) enchantment based on Enchantment (+) points added to the boots. -1% to EO and ED spells
These are my examples and ideas. Also each user can only receive 1 of each milestone item no matter how many of their characters hit that milestone, these items cannot be forged only blacksmithed (prices to be worked out), Milesone items would not be able to be sold only trasferred between characters of the recieving user, and they may not be rented out either.
U must also have the appropiate items to be selected for the molding process which can take place at anytime after the milestone has been reached and that character is still active.
i would love to hear your thoughts so post away
